Subtract by 4s and 5s Worksheets

About This Worksheet Collection

This collection of subtract-by-4s and subtract-by-5s worksheets provides students with a well-rounded set of practice pages that build fluency with two essential subtraction fact families. Across grids, columns, missing-number formats, and themed designs, learners encounter both high-volume practice and shorter focused sets, allowing teachers to target fluency, reinforcement, or skill-specific intervention. Friendly illustrations-ranging from penguins to pandas to aliens-add a fun, student-centered touch that keeps practice engaging without distracting from the math.

As students work through the pages, they strengthen their understanding of numerical patterns, develop confidence counting back in sets of four and five, and build quick recall of subtraction facts. These worksheets encourage accuracy, organized computation, and mental-math flexibility across multiple formats. The consistent repetition and well-structured layouts support foundational fluency that prepares students for more advanced subtraction and multi-digit computation.
